Edamame & Southern Greens

I came up with this quick stir-fry while on a business trip to Atlanta and needing something easy and nutrient dense to prepare and eat out of one pot. It's also delicious with a touch of red Thai sauce over jasmine rice. The Southern Greens Mix is available at your local Trader Joe's in the produce section, right next to the baby spinach.

1 small onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 cup crimini or portabella mushrooms, chopped
1/2 cup shelled edamame, frozen or fresh
5 cups greens mix (kale, collards, mustard, and turnip), washed and chopped
1 cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh herb seasonings of your choice

Heat oil in a 4-quart skillet (you'll need a skillet with a lid).
Add onion and garlic, stir and saute for a few minutes.
Add mushrooms and edamame, stir and continue sauteing.
Add greens and push down to fit into pot.
Sprinkle herbs on top.
Place lid on and allow to cook down for 2 minutes.
Add water as need to steam greens.
Cook, covered, for about 5 minutes.
Serves 2-3 hearty portions.
